James Taylor, Jr.

A vocal prodigy, James Taylor, Jr. has been singing since 2 years old and writing since he was 6. His dramatic tenor voice is passionate and soulful, and his writing evokes emotion.

James started working with Kevin Wesley Williams of WesMix in 2020 just before a global shutdown. Since then, he’s been able to release “Pride (Stripped)”, a series of singles and EPs in the “hi / jt” series, the holiday song “You Don’t Have to Hurt”, and the gospel-inspired “I’m on Fire”. He is currently working on a full-length PRIDE album: inspired by, about, and dedicated to queer history.

He's been called an "incredible artist" (Kathy Ireland, supermodel and entrepreneur), "a great songwriter" (Kevin Wesley Williams, producer), and "the gay Richard Marx" (Kristoffer Gair, author). His music has been described as "beyond exciting" (Glenn Scarpelli, actor), "magic" (Kathe Koja, author), with "the voice of an angel" (Jacqueline Frost, drag artist).
